Re: Realm Accounting (bump)

2001-12-05 Thread Chris A. Kalin

And I actually tend to think that there's something more here than just
paying attention to the detailfile directive - since I don't see a Realm
attribute in the detail file for the users that are using a realm (if there
was no realm on the username I DO see 'Realm = NULL') and I don't get any
realm entries in the MySQL database either, even though there's a field for
them.  (Instead, the realm is appended to the username in the User Name
field.)  It's almost like the proxy module figures out there's a realm,
proxies the request properly, than promptly forgets that it was dealing with
a realm and logs (to detail, SQL, or both) just like it was a regular
username.

 I hate to bring it up again; however, the last message never received a
 response and this issue does seem to be an issue which has been reported
 quite a few times in the past, and never recieved a valid response or fix
 as yet to date.

 Please see message dated:  11/29/01   Re:  Realm accounting...

Have you looked at the configuration of the 'detail' module in

   Haven't changed it from what it was out of the box, except making
 detailperm
   660 instead of 600.
 Read 'doc/rlm_detail' YOu can configure the detail directory to be
 pretty much anything you want.


 I read this whole thread, and I think the problem Chris was originally
 trying to point out was never addressed. I have duplicated his issue, and
 in fact, wish it worked myself.
 The primary issue _not_ being where to log standard detail files, but
where
 it logs proxied detail files. The issue appears that the line in
proxy.conf
 detailfile += /path/to/detail is being ignored.
 What I notice is, when a proxy request comes in, freeradius (11/08/01
 snapshot) will successfully proxy the request and the accounting packet to
 the remote server. Can't complain about that. But us, being the wholesaler
 want to keep track of usage time of this proxy customer's usage. And we
 need to do it by isp of course. So what we need is for all requests being
 proxied to be dumped into a separate location rather than the location
 specified by detailfile in radiusd.conf.
 I assume the difference between += and just = on this line would mean
 the += would also log to the specified file as well as the detailfile
 specified in radiusd.conf.

  Agreed.  That line isn't used *anywhere*.  It should be deleted from
the proxy configuration file.

  Agreed.  The 'detail' module should have a seperate directive for
proxied requests.  If it's going to proxy the request, then the data
should be logged locally FIRST.

  The changes shouldn't be too difficult.  As always, patches are
welcome.

  I've been quiet on the list recently because of a flurry of lay-offs
and panic attacks at work.
